On this podcast episode I talk about financial freedom and how real estate can help you achieve financial freedom. I also discuss why financial freedom is so difficult for most people. It starts with how we are raised, when our parents tell us to go to school, get good grades, and get a good job. And we listen to them. Fast forward twenty years, and you may find yourself feeling overworked, underpaid and at a job that you can't stand. Even worse, if you are like most Americans, you can't quit your job because you have bills to pay, credit card debt and almost no savings. You have fixed expenses that won't go away. Does this sound familiar? You need that job in order to pay those bills so you feel stuck. You are in what Robert Kiyosaki calls the "rat race" in his book "Rich Dad Poor Dad" (which you should read).
